Surprise Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig are eyeing a January move for Everton striker David Henen.

Belgian youngster Henen, 20, has not featured in a match day squad under Ronald Koeman following the Dutchman’s arrival in the summer, and 18 months into a three-year deal is reportedly keen on leaving Goodison Park.

Henen arrived from Greek side Olympiacos in 2015, but the winger has found opportunities limited and spent a portion of last term on loan at Fleetwood Town.

Now Bild reports that Ralf Rangnick, the mastermind behind RBL’s rise through the German leagues, wants to take him to Germany.

Rangnick recently travelled to England on a scouting mission, as RBL continue to search for young, value-for-money talent within the English game - having signed Oliver Burke from Nottingham Forest during the summer - taking in the Toffees’ 5-0 loss at Chelsea.

Henen was once more not in the match day squad, with the suggestion that Koeman views him as too lightweight for the Premier League.

Now RBL could make a move when the transfer window reopens, with Rangnick this week insisting that the Bundesliga’s shock league leaders will move for targets, if fair deals can be done.

“If a player in the winter break is on the market, and he’s a player we would anyway like to have in the summer, then we could make a move."

Henen fits RBL's modus operandi of younger players with room to improve and become more valuable assets to the Red Bull-backed upstarts, who currently stand three points clear of Bayern atop the German table.
